the SIGTRAN components for the OpenSS7 stacks. Also, the STREAMS version runs on both 2.4 and 2.6
kernels.

This is a stable production release: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current
release before reporting bugs.

This is primarily a maintenance release correcting reported bugs, but also includes the latest
packaging improvements.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous

and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.
